FEATURING RECOGNIZED EXPERTS, INFLUENCERS, AND AUTHORS, IN WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP, EMPOWERMENT AND ADVANCEMENT
Lisa Gillette spent 25 years climbing the ranks of leadership, the last 10 years as an executive in sports television; a highly intoxicating, extremely toxic, work environment. She is intimately familiar with the special challenges created by systemic gender bias. Lisa’s highest intention is to encourage, support and guide more women up the ranks of leadership, all the way into the C suite.
"The woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet."
